North Oldham

It’s rivalry week once again. North Oldham football hosts South Oldham for the second of three intra-county meetings this season. Since neither of the teams are in the same district, let alone the same class, the game poses no postseason implications

A former two-time state singles tennis champion from North Oldham appears in the recently released film, ‘Battle of the Sexes,’ a dramatization of the highly-publicized 1973 exhibition match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.

Oldham County girls soccer guaranteed itself of a spot in the District 29 title game for the third straight year. The Lady Colonels defeated North Oldham 2-1 Monday night in Buckner. Tristan Whalen scored the game-winning goal with 7:13 left in regulation as Oldham County rallied from an early one-goal deficit.

A year after every regular season District 29 girls soccer match was decided in a shootout, North Oldham and South Oldham were in a familiar scenario Wednesday night in Goshen. After a 2-2 tie in regulation and overtime, Danielle Argotte sent in the winning shot from the mark to give North Oldham a 3-1 advantage for the victory.

North Oldham football put to rest a long losing streak in time for district play.

The Mustangs defeated Bullitt Central 16-13 in overtime last Friday for their first win since Sept. 25, 2015. Adam Barry made a field-goal in the Mustangs’ first possession in overtime to complete a 10-point second half comeback.

It’s a new season. That’s what captain Jeff Thomas told the Oldham County boys soccer team before its game against North Oldham. He wanted the emotion of losing to the Mustangs in the Eighth Region final last fall removed from the minds of his teammates. It worked.
